Dan

Well I got a comment, somewhat ironically, on my previous post, "A Difference". It was like the answer to my hopes for this blog. I thought it would take a while for me to get to the point where people I don't know are compelled to post comments upon my blog. But I made it, and only a month and a half in.

Of course, I got to share the love here. It's the unwritten rules of blogging-you get commented by someone with a blog, you mention them. Of course I plan to. The guy's name is Dan, and he runs a blog called Dan's Toy Museum (he's a toy fanatic.) I took a look at it myself and it was quite entertaing-definitely worth a look. I've got the link on the side bar right next to Switch 2 Plan B. And I just got to give him some props for keeping the blog up for so long. He started his blog two years ago and has been posting since. Thanks and Kudos Dan.

In other news of my blog, I'm glad to know now that if you look up alcatraz014, you will find my blog, sitting there proudly up on the Google page, sitting right next to my Oddlabs account. Try it. And for all those who do read, spread it around; I can always use more readers.

Finals are drawing ever nearer...

A difference

-Barilan's map of the Internet-

I keep wondering whether or not anybody really reads this blog. I can't really count family and friends, but I'm wondering if someone would look at my blog and say to themselves, This guy is good. I'd like to read about him and his life daily. I'm worried that the answer is no.

I've had two comments so far, and one of them was by my older brother while the other was from a classmate, so I can't really count them. That kind of goes for a lot of things. When you're skilled at something, you're only really skilled if you actually have people you don't know that think that. Of course my friends will tell me I'm good at something, but I need a really neutral point of view to assess myself accurately.

I guess I shouldn't worry about it too much. Such is the nature of blogging after all. My uncle blogs, and his link is up on my side menu. He says alot of really good stuff on the matter, and I would suggest you take a glimpse at his page to get a picture of an expertly crafted blog.

But I'm not going for expert writing. I don't know waht I'm going for. But I do know that I want people reading, for better or for worse. Andl I know is that you don't get a huge successful blog overnight. So I write daily, and hope that people read as such. But I rather doubt it. But who knows? Anything can happen on the World Wide Web.
